3.3.1 Trigger Method

The Trigger Method determines what device is going to trigger the transmitter to fire and collect a data

trace.

This parameter is set under System Setup - Acquisition Control - Trigger Method.

There are 5 ways to trigger the transmitter to fire:

1) DVL B Button

2) Electrical Trigger

3) Fibre Optic Trigger

4) Odometer

5) Free Run

The Trigger Method to use is best determined by the user after examination of the site to assess the ease

with which the radar can be moved from position to position.
